[QUOTE="CarrieB, post: 967420, member: 9279"] i was diagnosed about 20 years ago, having experienced very rapid onset of typical diabetes symptoms (drinking gallons but still feeling thirsty, so tired I was falling asleep at my desk, etc). As I was in my 30s I was classed as type 2 without any tests to confirm that. Diet didn't touch my blood glucose levels, and within a fortnight I was on metformim, I had a couple of years where careful control of carbs and the metformim just about kept my HbA1c acceptable, but then in spite of regularly increasing the dose that wasn't working and about 10 years ago, after much reluctance from the diabetes clinic specialists, I was put on insulin (a basal / bonus regime) which works well. I'm curious if I'm really a type 2 nor not. Are there any tests that can be carried out after this long to confirm the type 2 diagnosis? Thanks [/QUOTE]
